🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement parameterized queries or input validation in /admin/delete_room.php.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd input validation to ensure room_id parameter contains only numeric values
Modify /admin/delete_room.php to validate room_id parameter: if(!is_numeric($_GET['room_id'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: SecRule ARGS:room_id "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to /admin/ directory using IP whitelisting or authentication
- Implement database user with minimal permissions (read-only where possible)
